To donate, place your items in the drop box and call 314-416-8282 for a tax receipt.

Why choose a Charity Clothing Pickup (MPS) Box over other boxes?

There are 2 major differences between USAgain/Planet Aid and CharityClothingPickup:

1. Charity Clothing Pickup makes a monetary contribution to a local charity for every pound of clothing collected.

Charity Clothing Pickup charitable drop box contributions are over $1,000,000 per year company wide.

2. We are American owned and a locally operated company. All clothing we collect is distributed within the USA and financially benefits a local charity.

We have been collecting used clothing to support charities for over 30 years.

While we appreciate the efforts of our competitor’s role as a recycler, Charity Clothing Pickup’s drop box program has the additional benefit of giving back to the community.

As a clothing donor or drop box host we would like to ensure that you truly understand the mission and goals of USAgain/Planet Aid. (see the article below)

By supporting Charity Clothing Pickup through the local drop box program you help keep clothing from our landfills WHILE supporting local charities.

BY DONATING WITH CCP OR SPONSORING A DROP BOX YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO LOCAL CHARITIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

Those smelly flip flops that were too raunchy for might be perfect for USAgain, a for-profit company at bins around town. A PR representative for USAgain Jen Hirsch, of Group SJR, said Thursday that many items Americans wouldn't consider worthy of charitable donations would still be acceptable in the developing nations the discarded items go to.

and Hirsch said in promotional materials that

USAgain asks people to discard their items rather than donate. That helps people understand that we are just taking things.

We are getting rid of (things) not taking donations, per se, Hirsch said.

(USAgain)) For Profit COMPANIES that hot the bins are typically compensated per pound collected,

but it depends on the contract, Hirsch said. The bins are emptied weekly and the clothing and shoes are then sold in huge bales to sorting companies.

Some of the second-hand clothing is sold domestically and the rest is sold overseas.

“There is a huge demand for second hand clothing and used shoes in developing countries,” Hirsch said. Clothing that cannot be reworn is recycled into cloths, insulation and furniture padding. Hirsch said a lot of companies use the same drop off box model but

USAgain clearly states they are for profit on the box and on its website.
